And now, that the kids are asleep, here's my first analysis with almost 300 boost and more than 200 likes: #Mastodon is at 85%, in second place are #GoToSocial and #Bluesky (we can't see all the interactions from here). Seems like #Lemmy etc. are not recognized by my script, or it didn't work.
And if you want to do such an analysis for posts in the #Fediverse for yourself, here's the script I'm using now. It's much faster and easier than my old tool, which was based on Excel 😉
Ever since reading "Getting off US tech: a guide" by @parismarx last year, I wanted to build a little website where you could check the #software you're using and get some shareable text, showing how much is from the US. Now it's finally done 👇🏼🥳
My always up-to-date sheet with almost 1300 official accounts by media organizations that you can follow from #Mastodon and everywhere else in the #Fediverse.
You can show/hide columns, there is a powerful custom search and a button to download an CSV with the handles of all visible accounts for import. There's also the language, the country of origin, and a direct link.
Does anyone know a website by a news organisation, that is federated into the #Fediverse via the plugin for #Wordpress? Would be a nice addition for my collection:
When a video from #Peertube appears in my feed here in #Mastodon, it only shows the title and the URL, nothing more. This is not really helpful.
Would it be possible, that Mastodon shows something like the first 300 characters from the description (500 characters minus 120 for the peertube title and the URL), @renchap?
Your points are absolutely valid, and I would certainly hope, that somebody finds the time to implement your suggestions. Very nice to know, that Mastodon is already at some.
The thing is, I think right now, #Bluesky is just hotter than #Mastodon & the #Fediverse. But that will change again, and it would be really great, when this stuff is fixed by the time an new wave of incoming people arrives. If we like it or not, many people were thrown away by exactly what you're describing.
What you were just touching a bit, but what is maybe also more important, than many think: The lingo is not helping. (And certainly not the people, who are always quick to correct anyone not using it 100% correctly 😉)
Well, now also in English: As far as I know, @heiseonline is now the (EDIT:) third media organization with it's own instance on #Peertube to share #videos directly in the #Fediverse.
The first channel to look out for is @ct_3003, but there are more to come.
I hope, we're only the beginning, so let's spread the word!
And it is done 🎉 (although still not that pretty 🙈):
Here is the always up-to-date sheet with more than 1000 official accounts by media organizations that you can follow from #Mastodon & everywhere else in the #Fediverse.
There is a powerful custom search (top left) and a button to download an CSV with the handles of all visible accounts, that you can import. There's also the language, the country of origin and a direct link.
Loading takes a while, so be patient. I also added two graphs, that I built with #DataWrapper.
Sorting by "Last Status" seems to not work totally right, and I really don't want to know, how it looks on mobile (yet) 😉 There is a search box, that works really nice. Any suggestions, comments, help and ideas are welcome. But please keep in mind, this is something, I'm working on in my free time – of which there is even less, now that my sons are older.
I did it! Although it's still very rough & really not pretty, I got my spreadsheet with (> 900) verified accounts of media organizations in the #Fediverse away from #Google. The solution was #DataTables all along 👇🏼
Now I have to make it pretty (and correct some mistakes), but maybe someone can help me there? For example I know, that you can filter in #DataTables, but I couldn't get it working. Ideas?
